Practices
At least one coach needs to be at every practice. If you have a parent that is willing to help out, but does not want to be listed as a coach, but will be there without one of the coaches, then he or she needs to register in NYSL as a coach.
Time Commitment
Most recreation coaches have a low time commitment:
- U4,5,6,7,8 - 1 hour on a single day
- U10 and up - 1 - 2 practices a week plus 1 game
Each team has multiple coaches - so being able to make every session is NOT a requirement.
Required Experience
No experience is necessary to coach. Some of the best coaches never played soccer at all.
- We provide lesson plans for all skill levels.
- We link to content easily available and digestable for you in media.
- Our directors are ALWAYS there to answer questions.
- If you decide you want more experience, we will reimburse for training courses!
Games
All game setup and scheduling is done by the league. You just show up, shake hands, and model good sportsmanship to players, parents and coaches!
